Candidate Meet & Greet Taco Tuesday

Come and meet one of your candidates for Mayor for the City of Monona and enjoy a Taco Tuesday night with Monona's newest eatery, Chipotle! Chipotle isn't open yet so this is a sneak peek of what they'll be bringing to Monona. A cash bar will be available and Breakwater will be serving their special Margaritas.

This collaborative gathering between two of Monona's businesses, Breakwater and Chipotle, will provide opportunities for great conversations, discussing issues and solutions, and getting to know our neighbors.
